On its face, not good - freedom of speech and conscience should not only be practiced but, expanded and protected. For humor, civility, and those most embarrassing moments, it is far to accurate, far to often.

We have freedom of speech as long as it agrees with the liberal party line. It's called Political Correctness.

You have the right not to be killed, Murder is a CRIME! Unless it was done by a Policeman or aristocrat....."You have the right to free Speech as long as you're not Dumb enough to actually try it" ~The Clash, 1982
